On Saturday, November 3rd, we were honored to attend the annual Brain Injury Alliance Gala, held in Seattle, which we have attended for the past several years. This event brings together colleagues, practitioners, and Brain Injury survivors along with their families and caregivers for an evening of success stories, triumphs and perseverance. It is so very special and humbling to run into families from years past who have brought a Manor Lake puppy into their lives and the love and support they receive from them.

Manor Lake Australian Labradoodles is proud to show our support to this extraordinary organization this year with the donation of two of our Manor Lake puppies. Overall, over $535,000 was raised on this magical evening which will go directly to Brain Injury Alliance of WA services and support and will significantly impact the lives of survivors and their families.

We would like to specially thank Deborah, Allison and the entire BIAWA Board, Staff and Volunteers for always being so gracious and making this a fun and special night for us and our puppies. Until next year!

Thought you might enjoy seeing our almost 11 month old pup. He is a blast with a spark of mischief from time to time. Loves meeting anyone that comes to our home. Always greets them with some toy hanging out of his mouth. Look at our handsome boy. Couldn’t ask for a sweeter pup. – Kathryn A.

We meant to send you a picture of our Hobbes (Tabasco x Maximus) on his 2nd birthday. We can’t believe our sweet guy is two already!

Hobbes is a delight in every way…smart, sociable, funny, smart, handsome, polite, athletic and did I mention smart? This dog grabs attention from everyone wherever we go. His gorgeous red locks turn heads all over town, and everyone loves how sweet and gentle he is. Hobbes is such a bright spot in our lives, and we are incredibly grateful to you for finding our perfect puppy! Hobbes is our dream dog, and we thank you for making our dog dreams come true!!

Just wanted you to know during this season of Thanksgiving that we are very grateful for Manor Lake Labradoodles!

We just received an update on Zoobie! We are so very thankful when we hear from Manor Lake families with news and updates on our dogs. To see how they have grown from adorable puppies to magnificent adults is one of the many reasons we share thanks this week and every day of the year.

“Hope you are well!!! Zoobie and I moved to SF 2 years ago and are loving it. Her mom was petunia and dad was Mozart. My friends the ellisons adopted Digger from you, the Harts got Chowder, Allison in SF got Teddy, and now an acquaintance, Lina, is moving from the UK to NYC and wants to get a puppy like Zoobie from you! She will be emailing you soon, so please help her understand the whole process. I know she’d love a pup that looks like Zoobie.”

This pic was sent in by the owner of Lucy Lu, this gorgeous Australian Labradoodle relaxing by the shore of the Chesapeake Bay.

Lucy Lu is the daughter of our popular Manor Lake Pumpkin Soup.

Her owner and constant companion had this to say about her darling Lucy Lu,

“I know I have said it before, but we could not love this dog more! We have three girls who just absolutely adore her. She is loved on constantly! I think there is not a day that goes by that we don’t say “Lucy you are the cutest dog we have ever seen!“, “Lucy you are the greatest dog ever!” and “Lucy I love you so much!“. She truly is the best! Thank you again. We can’t imagine our lives without her!”

If you’re keeping count, that’s seven exclamation points. That’s a pretty enthusiastic endorsement if you ask me. And why wouldn’t it be? Our Pumpkin Soup (Punkie), is one of the kindest, gentlest, and beautiful little ladies.

Other owners of pups from Pumpkin Soup have had this to say about their puppies:

“She is smart, alert and playful and has a lovely temperament. A real doll.”

And also:

“ALLEGRA is the sweetest!!! The whole family is mad about her, even her slightly jealous french bulldog brother.”

Just think, not only will you get a wonderful companion that you’ll simply fall in love with, you can drop Hugh Jackman’s name every time someone compliments your dog!

Matching families with the perfect new member is what drives us at Manor Lake Australian Labradoodles, so we cherish every testimonial we receive.

But it’s testimonies like this one that really warm our heart. When someone is so blessed with their companion that they’re still thanking us four years later, we feel like we’re genuinely changing lives—and that makes all the difference.

Kim,

Yesterday was the 4th anniversary of Shasta coming to me, and I want to tell you how much I love her. I know you hear this all the time from your puppy parents, but she is really wonderful and makes my life so much better.

She has learned so much in these four years; she is the most cooperative and loving dog I have ever known. My whole family loves her and looks forward to our frequent visits. Fortunately Shasta is a very good traveler and passengers on our flights often comment on her good behavior.

The more enrichment and attention I give her, the more she thrives emotionally. She comes to my office and greets the students before settling into a chair quietly during their lessons. She is not only smart but very pretty! Thank you for giving me such a wonderful companion.
